Today in South Minneapolis, an immigration enforcement operation turned fatal when an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. While the Department of Homeland Security is labeling the incident an "act of domestic terrorism," local leaders—including Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz—are calling it a "reckless" murder and "propaganda." We break down the timeline, the viral video evidence, and the escalating "occupation" of the Twin Cities.

Plus Eric Swalwell tells us what he will do about ICE if he elected Governor of California.

Key Discussion Points

The Incident at 34th & Portland: A breakdown of the events at approximately 9:30 AM. Renee Good, identified as a "legal observer" and U.S. citizen, was in her SUV near an active ICE raid when she was confronted by federal agents.

Conflicting Narratives:

The DHS/Trump Admin View: Claims Good "weaponized her vehicle" and attempted to ram agents, forcing a "defensive" shooting.

The Eyewitness/Video View: Witnesses and viral footage suggest Good was attempting to turn around or leave the scene. Reports indicate an agent reached across the hood and fired multiple shots through the windshield into her face.

The Political Fallout: * Mayor Jacob Frey’s Rebuke: "To ICE: Get the f*** out of Minneapolis."

Governor Walz’s Warning: Calling the federal narrative "bullsh*t" and a "propaganda machine," while putting the National Guard on alert to maintain peace.

The Broader Context: This killing occurs during a massive federal surge (approx. 2,000 agents) in Minnesota—just blocks from where George Floyd was murdered in 2020.

Legal & Civil Rights: What are the rights of legal observers? Who has jurisdiction to prosecute a federal agent for a shooting on city streets?
